什麼最重要?
讀 經:提摩太後書3:1-5
金 句:「主帶著他的千萬聖者降臨,要在眾人身上行審判,證實那一切不敬虔的人所妄行一切不敬虔的事,又證實不敬虔之罪人所說頂撞他的剛愎話。」(猶大書14-15節)
全年讀經:約伯記1-4章
你可知音樂對年輕人有多大的影響力?他們每年會買下數百萬張唱片,知名藝人的演唱會擠滿了不斷高聲尖叫的歌迷。因此,不論我們讚同與否,搖滾、饒舌歌和重金屬音樂,的確對今日文化造成不小的衝擊。
綠洲合唱的團長尼爾‧迦勒弗(Neil Gallagher)聲稱:「我們現在比耶穌基督還要受人歡迎!」接著,他還加上一句:「對我而言,那些我喜歡的流行音樂歌星,實在要比上帝重要得多。」
他的想法暴露出他對創造他並將來要審判他的那一位,只有膚淺的認識。新約裡猶大的書信中說到,耶穌有天會再回來「要在眾人身上行審判,證實那一切不敬虔的人……又證實不敬虔之罪人所說頂撞他的剛愎話。」(15節)
綠洲合唱團的音樂和其團長的乖僻思想該受到最苛刻的批評,然而耶穌又在我們的生活中佔什麼地位呢?上帝對我們是最重要的嗎?我們的心會為頌贊福音大能的音樂而悸動嗎?我們會為自己的救恩獻上感謝嗎?還有,我們會為些尚未相信主耶穌基督的人們--老的、少的,在禱告祈求嗎?對我們來說,究竟誰最重要?VCG
主啊,那些未將尊榮歸於你的人,
是何等的自大傲慢!
然而,我們是否在一切所言所行上
總是將你擺在首位?Sper
此刻我們如何對待耶穌,將決定日後他會如何對待我們。

What Means Most To Us?
Read: 2 Timothy 3:1-5
The Lord comes . . . to convict all who are ungodly . . . of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. --Jude 14-15
How influential is music on the young people in our society? They buy millions of recordings annually. And screaming fans jam-pack concerts by well-known artists. So, whether we like it or not, rock, rap, and heavy metal are making a significant impact on today's culture.
Neil Gallagher, leader of the group Oasis, made the claim, "We're more popular than Jesus Christ now." He added, "Some of the pop stars I like are more important to me than God."
Such an opinion reveals an appalling shallowness of his understanding of the One who made him and will one day judge him. The New Testament letter of Jude says that Jesus will return one day "to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them . . . of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him" (v.15).
The music of Oasis and the warped thinking of its leader cry out for sharpest criticism. Yet what place does Jesus occupy in our lives? Is God supremely important to us? Are we thrilled by music that magnifies the gospel? Are we grateful for our salvation? And are we praying for those, young and old, who haven't yet put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? What means most to us? --VCG
The arrogance of those, O Lord,
Who do not honor You!
Yet do we always put You first
In all we say and do? --Sper
What we do with Christ now determines what He will do with us later.
